Here is the link to the Pixel 3 Camera APK.:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-6-1-009-215420794-release/
I can confirm it works on my Pixel 2. No rooting required. Just install. Updates existing camera app.
Thanks for sharing!
great, confirm working on my pixel 2, no root, updated my pixel cam app.
I found if "Pixel 2 Blurry Panorama Fix" magisk module was installed and enabled, this new camera apk would force close.
i use that link ;

Look's good but picture quality it's the same or not ?
I feel like it doesn't capture as fast
Is there any way to revert?
Turn off the motion setting. It's the setting that makes a short video and a photo.

Open the camera app information, force stop, disable and then enable.

I'm struggling to get RAW images to open in Snapseed. No idea if this is a problem with the files being created in the Camera app, or Snapseed...

I don't own a Mi A1 yet. But planning to buy one. Today I've found something interesting while searching google. Can anyone test it and let me know if it works? Thanks in advance.
The original post is here.
There is a way to enable EIS on Nexus 5X just as it's enabled in Nexus 6P. It was posted originally on Reddit here.
As EIS is a software thing, so i think the same procedure might work on Mi A1.
1. Edit build.prop
2. Add this line: persist.camera.eis.enable=1
3. Reboot
4. Go to Google Camera settings --> Resolution & Quality
5. Check "Enable video stabilization"
the camera app on mi A1 is customised and controlled by xiaomi unlike google on nexus 5x and 6p so i don't think it will work.If xiaomi pushes an update in the future to enable it then it would be great as they compared this camera to iphone 7 plus and OP5 and both have stabilization enabled on them but this phone doesn't!

I installed Google hdr+ and open camera...photos are absolutely brilliant with Google camera
...of course the worst is stock mi camera..it just gives artefacts and my unit the focus from that app is way off and everything looked out of focus.
.but getting good shots with Google camera hdr+ and there is electronic image stabilization in Google which should be the reason why mi app photos are really blurred
...am rooted via flashfire SuperSU on September patch. did build.prop edit to make Google camera work. Also made it system app . Else was fc on opening.. now all fine... enjoying my 15k pixel device..hehe..infact I have installed substratum and installed pixel ui as well...only thing I haven't tried is viper yet...but all root apps TB, BusyBox, es file explorer pro, etc working like charm..
@rexisrex I'm willing to take the same steps as you once I get my hands on the device. Could you provide some sample shots of the google camera ? Sample videos with stabilization would be cool as well if that's not asking too much.

Sure will upload once I get home in the evening.. I'll upload photos from mi camera, Google hdr+ and open camera..video will upload Google's..
Have attached few samples...didn't have time to go out and take real photos..but this should give an idea..
All snaps are HDR and mi camera photos have HDR in caps at end of file. Google camera shots won't have HDR in file name...paucity of time. So kindly excuse..have taken sample 20sec video from both camera..don't know how to upload.
Kindly find my Google camera HDR+...it has video stabilization in options..have video sample but it's still a bit shaky but miles better than Mi video...
But I'm overall impressed with Google camera on this device..mi camera suffers moment light fades.. Google camera excels there..but with software updates mi camera has huge scope to get better..with ideal light conditions it creates good shots but highly exaggerated colors..

Use the modded camera from here. Install it normally but remove previous versions before.. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195922284
If still fc, Have you rooted your A1? If no then no luck..
If yes, then you have to do build.prop edit by adding this line
persist.camera.eis.enable= 1
at the end of file, save and reboot..
It Should work now. Camera might fc once even after this hack but from next time works without hiccups. Expect a fc once a while as ours isn't a pixel device
I had installed pixel experience rom on my whyred and was wondering to get fully stable Gcam on it to get complete pixel rom on my whyred,then tried with BSG's gcam but it offers limited features so I turned to find a stable Gcam with almost all features and came across this Gcam mod : MGC_5.3.015_v.1.0.5_Tolyan009.
It can be used as daily driver as it almost fully stable.
What's Working in it.
1.Slow mo.
2.Portrait.
3.Google lens.
4.Video at 1080p 60 fps
<auto focus working with video stabilization>
5.photo sphere.
6.panorama.
Problems with this:
1.lens blur is bit choppy and is advised not to use it.
2.Run and use this as it is with default settings change in settings may results in app blunders.
3.there is 4k uhd option but it's not working.
THIS MOD IS TESTED ONLY ON PIXEL EXPERIENCE ROM.
YOU CAN USE ON MIUI BUT I AM NOT SURE IF IT WORKS.
Download link:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MyJk3LM9oa18UvhB56U_pwV_UVmjdZoE/view?usp=drivesdk

For this to work make Gcam as default camera app.
Everything is working fine in my phone after making it default app and disabling snapdragon camera app.
If it still not works try clearing data and rebooting phone.

Like in stock camera, selfies look like when you are about to click the picture.
But one problem I found in all gcam apps is after clicking the picture, selfies don't look like just before clicking. They are flipped sideways.

I just tried this with the new RR 7 (RR-P-v7.0.0-20190203-whyred-Official) and it works fine.
⌐At first the images were monochrome for some reason, switched config HDR+ to pixel 1 and the images came out normal and with HDR+. Turning it back to pixel 2 after a while
and magically nothing changed. Images were still in color.
⌐There are a few random bugs like the ones in OP and some others like there being 2 lens blur mode options.
Code:

After rooting, you should have Magisk Manager installed in your phone.
Tap on the hamburger icon (three bars icon on the top left of the screen).

I'm using this one https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCamera_Mod_v.5.1.23_R5Plus_fix_crash.apk
So far so good. I like the personalization menu of this one better than the Arnova one.
Didn't test it thoroughly, but in both versions portrait camera works and so does slow motion (this two were the most reported bugs I saw).
Anyone trying diferent versions, let us know so we can compare.

It's working for me. But if it's not working, I suggest (,reinstalling or,) trying the one it's based on (check my previous post). And if still buggy, try others posted here. Or go for the arnova ones. They act like regular apps, so you can try and try.
Also, I've noticed they treat the colors in a diferent way. If anyone with time wants to compare the actual pictures, it'll be nice

i tried following the steps in the article, even uninstalling the updates from my google photos app.
But I dont have top shot working, even the motion mode is not working on the photos.
Did it work as soon as you installed app, or did you wait for google to resync your backed up photos?

Testing some. Camera apk will make your camera broken.

Looks like only gallery works.

Yeah my mistake, I thought the new camera had installed but it was the original form the latest stable. I installed new one and like you said can only access the few modes mentioned by you by long press. Since the Oneplus 8 has that hole punch camera it might be interfering with our pop up camera causing errors! Someone may be able to figure it out!! Nothing new too noteworthy anyway!!
